Census
Analisia in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 199 people with the first name Analisia, which placed it at #38,518 in the published first-name tables. This is a snapshot of people who already had the name at the time of the Census.
The SSA sections elsewhere on this page answer a different question: how often parents gave the name to babies over time. The "people living today" figure on this page is different again: it is a current estimate built from SSA birth records and age-based survival rates, so the two numbers are not expected to match exactly.

In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Analisia is Hispanic at 73.9%. The next largest groups are White (9.0%) and Black (7.0%). These figures describe the people who had the name in 2020, not any inherent property of the name itself.
The bar chart below shows how people with the first name Analisia described their own race and ethnicity on the 2020 Census form. The Census Bureau groups responses into six broad categories: White, Black or African American, Hispanic or Latino, Asian and Pacific Islander, American Indian and Alaska Native, and Two or More Races. When a category has too few respondents for a given name, the Bureau suppresses the figure to protect individual privacy, which is why some names show fewer than six slices.
Percentages are shown so the breakdown is easy to read across every published category. Because the 2020 Census first-name file also includes raw headcounts for each group, Name Census can show those alongside the percentages in the legend and hover tooltip.
Keep in mind that these are self-reported numbers. A first name does not determine a person's race or ethnicity, and the distribution you see here reflects the specific population who happened to carry the name Analisia at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Analisia
The name Analisia has its roots in Ancient Greek, derived from the word "analusis," which means "resolution" or "dissolution." It originated during the Hellenistic period, around the 3rd century BC, and was initially used to refer to the process of breaking down complex ideas or concepts into simpler components.
In the early days of Christianity, the name Analisia gained symbolic significance as it was associated with the concept of spiritual enlightenment and the dissolution of one's attachment to the material world. It was occasionally used as a name for women who dedicated their lives to religious contemplation and the pursuit of spiritual knowledge.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Analisia can be found in the writings of the 4th-century Christian philosopher and theologian, St. Augustine of Hippo. In his seminal work, "Confessions," he mentions a woman named Analisia who had profoundly influenced his spiritual journey and understanding of the divine.
Throughout the Middle Ages, the name Analisia remained relatively uncommon, but it was occasionally bestowed upon women within monastic orders or those who pursued scholarly endeavors. One notable figure was Analisia of Bingen (1098-1179), a German Benedictine abbess, philosopher, and composer, renowned for her visionary writings and groundbreaking musical compositions.
During the Renaissance period, the name experienced a resurgence, particularly among intellectuals and scholars who valued its symbolism of intellectual pursuit and the pursuit of knowledge. One such individual was Analisia Merici (1474-1540), an Italian religious educator and founder of the Ursuline Order, dedicated to the education of young women.
In the 18th century, Analisia Karamzin (1766-1826), a Russian writer and philosopher, gained recognition for her literary works and advocacy for women's education. Her contemporaries praised her intellect and her efforts to promote the intellectual development of women in Russian society.
Another notable figure was Analisia Curie (1867-1934), the pioneering Polish physicist and chemist who conducted groundbreaking research on radioactivity. She was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize and the first person to be awarded twice in two different scientific fields, making her a true embodiment of the name's connotation of intellectual pursuit and scientific inquiry.
While the name Analisia has remained relatively uncommon throughout history, it has maintained a strong association with scholarly pursuits, intellectual curiosity, and the quest for knowledge and spiritual enlightenment. Its enduring presence, though rare, serves as a testament to the timeless value placed on the pursuit of understanding and the dissolution of ignorance.

FAQ
Analisia: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Analisia?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 225 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Analisia going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 1,523,353 US residents.
Is Analisia a common name?
We classify Analisia as "Very Rare". It ranks above 75.7% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 228 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Analisia most popular?
The single biggest year for Analisia was 2006, when 15 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Analisia is about 17 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Analisia in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 199 people with the name Analisia, or 0.07 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #38,518 in the national Census ranking for first names.
Why is the Census count different from the living estimate?
Because they measure different things. The Census figure is a count of people who had the name Analisia in 2020. The living estimate aims to answer a current question instead: how many people with the name are alive today, based on SSA birth records and age-based survival rates. Since one number is a 2020 snapshot and the other is a present-day estimate, they are not expected to be identical.
What does the Census say about the gender split for Analisia?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Analisia leans strongly female. 192 people counted with this name were female (98.0%), compared with 4 male bearers (2.0%). The Census view is a snapshot of people living with the name in 2020, while the SSA section above tracks births across time.
What does the Census say about the background of people named Analisia?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Analisia is Hispanic at 73.9%. The next largest groups are White (9.0%) and Black (7.0%). These figures describe the people who had the name in 2020, not any inherent property of the name itself. The percentages in the chart above come from self-reported race and Hispanic-origin responses in the 2020 Census.
Which group reports the name Analisia most often in the Census?
Hispanic is the largest reported group for people named Analisia in the 2020 Census, accounting for 73.9% (147 people in the published table).
Why can the Census sex total and race total differ slightly?
The Census Bureau published separate 2020 tables for sex and for race/Hispanic origin, and the released figures can differ slightly because of privacy protection in the public files. That is why this page treats the gender section and the race/origin section as two related snapshots instead of forcing them into one identical total.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only includes names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files have no Census demographic snapshot. When that happens, the SSA trend, gender history, and state sections still appear, but the 2020 Census demographic sections are omitted.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Analisia in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Analisia a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Analisia in the SSA data are female. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Analisia still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Analisia in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Analisia can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
